Ep 13 - Robert Brockway - Novelist and Comedy Writer

Brian's guest is novelist and comedy writer Robert Brockway. Robert got his start during what many listeners will think of as the golden age of Cracked.com, editing and writing funny articles that were read by hundreds of thousands of people every week. Robert’s comedy chops have since moved on to co-found 1900HotDog.com. Robert is also the author of the post-apocalyptic horror novel Carrier Wave and the Vicious Circuit, an urban fantasy series from Tor Books.

Robert discussed his early days at Cracked.com; the responsibility of making people laugh; the difficulty of managing mental and physical health while creating, and the horrors of being thrown into the deep end of public speaking as a new author.

Find Robert on Twitter and at 1900HotDog.com. Pick up one of his books from Amazon or your favorite bookseller.
